The the top pick by the 49ers in the NFL draft, No. 2 overall, was congratulated early Saturday morning by none other than President Donald Trump on Twitter.

Trump’s endorsement of the 49ers pick went out to 59.9 million followers.

“Congratulations to Nick Bosa on being picked number two in the NFL Draft. You will be a greatt player for years to come, maybe one of the best. Big Talent! San Francisco will embrace you but most importantly, always stay true to yourself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Neither 49ers general manager John Lynch nor coach Kyle Shanahan had any comment on Trump’s tweet regarding Bosa since they were deep into preparation for Day 3 and were not aware of it.

Trump has not posted a congratulatory to tweet to the No. 1 pick, Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray, or any other player in the 2019 NFL draft. Bosa in the past has referred to Trump as G.O.A.T (Greatest of All Time).

Bosa spent part of his introductory press conference Friday apologizing for since-deleted social media posts which seemed to have racist and homophobic connotations. One of them included calling former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick a “clown.”

Trump has been critical of Kaepernick’s stance at kneeling for the National Anthem as well as NFL ownership for not disciplining players who followed the lead of the 49ers quarterback in terms of protesting racial injustice.
